Usage

Specify output file to be either miniSEED or a ZIP archive of SAC files.

Label

Specify a label to be included in file names and HTTP file name suggestions.

Components

Specify the orientation of the synthetic seismograms as a list of any
combination of Z (vertical), N (north), E (east),
R (radial), T (transverse)

Units

Specify either displacement, velocity or acceleration for the synthetics.

Sampling Interval

Specify the sampling interval in seconds.

Kernel Width

Specify the width of the sinc kernel used for resampling to requested sample interval,
relative to the original sampling rate.

Time parameters

Origin Time

Specify the source origin time. This must be specified as an absolute date and time.

Start Time

Specifies the desired start time for the synthetic trace(s). This may be specified as either:

an absolute date and time

a phase-relative offset

an offset from origin time in seconds

If the value is recognized as a date and time, it is interpreted as an absolute time.
If the value is in the form phase[+-]offset it is interpreted as a phase-relative time,
for example P-10 (meaning Pwave arrival time minus 10 seconds). Use of a phase-relative time
requires the specification of an origintime. If the value is a numerical value it is
interpreted as an offset, in seconds, from the origintime.

End Time

Specifies the end time for the synthetic trace(s). This may be specified as either:

an absolute date and time

a phase-relative offset

an offset from origin time in seconds

If the value is recognized as a date and time, it is interpreted as an absolute time.
If the value is in the form phase[+-]offset it is interpreted as a phase-relative time.
If the value is a positive numerical value it is
interpreted as an offset, in seconds, from the starttime.

Receiver parameters

Latitude

Specify the receiver latitude in degrees.

Longitude

Specify the receiver longitude in degrees.

Network

Specify a network code combined with station to identify
receiver coordinates of a operating station.

Station

Specify a station code combined with network to identify
receiver coordinates of a operating station.

Station Code

Specify the station code for synthetic. Otherwise the value of station
will be used if provided.

Source parameters

Event ID

Specify an event identifier in the form [catalog]:[eventid].
The origin time, centroid location and moment tensor of the solution will be used as the source.
The only catalog currently supported is Global CMT.
Search for GCMTs

Latitude

Specify the source latitude in degrees.

Longitude

Specify the source longitude in degrees.

Depth

Specify the source depth in meters.

As Moment Tensor

Specify a source in moment tensor components as a list:
Mrr,Mtt,Mpp,Mrt,Mrp,Mtp with values in Newton meters (Nm).

As Double Couple

Specify a source as a double couple. The list of values are strike,dip,rake[,M0],
where strike, dip and rake are in degrees and M0 is the scalar seismic moment in Newton meters (Nm).
If not specified, a value of 1e19 will be used as the scalar moment.
